A Love Worth Choosing

Soulmate?

Hawak-hawak ni George and tenga niya, sumasakit pa rin iyon. Kausap niya ngayon ang nakatatandang kapatid— si Damien. He asks for his help. He doesn't know what to do. His soulmate is a human for f**k's sake! "Why don't you just accept it? It's not like you can do anything about it." his brother suggested.

Totoo naman, wala na siyang magagawa kung tao ang itinadhana sa kaniya. "And what the hell were you thinking? Why did you attack her?" Damien knows his brother is stupid, but he didn't know he was that stupid. Attacking his innocent soulmate who's probably scared right now. "I can't help it, okay? Her blood smells nice. I was thirsty." he said as he raised his hands in defeat. "Why don't you talk to her and explain everything to her?" Plano naman talaga niyang kausapin ang babae, naduduwag lang siya.

"Don't tell me you're scared? I can smell it right now." His brother laughed. "Stop," George rolled his eyes at him. "You're not helping." He scoffs. "What do I do? Should I talk to her now? I can go to her place right now." Damien was about to answer when he cut him off. "I should do it." He puffs his chest and stormed out of his room.

Meanwhile, Elisa was going crazy in her house. Her mind cannot process everything that happend. She just got bitten by a monster! She can still feel his fangs in her neck. Oh, God. What have I gotten myself into?

She was pacing back and forth in her house when her door opened.

"What the— Paano mo nabuksan 'yan?" gulat na tanong niya. "Wait, what are you doing here?" unti-unti siyang napa-atras hanggang sa nabunggo na ang binti niya sa sofa. "I'm here to talk." George said, breathing heavily. He can smell her scent everywhere. Her blood, her shampoo, and even her breath. There's no doubt that this is her house. "Can I sit here?" he said pointing at the sofa. "No." she strictly said.

"Sungit." Manghang napatingin si Elisa sa lakaki, nagtatagalog pala ito? "What?" George asked, with a slightly raised eyebrow. "You speak Tagalog?" she said in awe. "Isn't it obvious? I'm a half Filipino," he rolled his eyes. He was about to sit but Elisa stopped him. "Don't sit! Monsters are not allowed in here. Please leave." Nagulantang siya sa narinig. Did she just call me a monster? Unbelievable!

"I'm not a monster, woman. And I am here to talk about what happened that night." Dire-diretsong sabi niya, nauubusan na siya ng pasensya. Kailangan niya nang sabihin ang lahat dito. "Not gonna happen." pagmamatigas ni Elisa. "You're gonna sit here and listen to everything I say. You understand me?" Elisa just stuck her tongue out. The audacity of this man!

"I just want to apologize about what happend that night. And I am here because I am your soulmate." he looks at her flatly.

Elisa laughed so hard that tears rolled down to her cheeks. "That was funny, really," pinahid ni Elisa ang luha at tumingin sa lalaki, at napatigil siya sa pagtawa. "Oh, you're serious?" she asks nervously. f**k!
